Diving:
You must have an Open Water Dive Certification before you can book the PADI Advance Dive Course. Cairns Dive Centre will ask to see evidence of this, bring your existing Dive License and a copy of your current Log Book. The course includes a total of 5 scuba dives. There will be time for recreational snorkeling after your dives.
The PADI Advanced Dive Course is internationally recognized. At Cairns Dive Centre, the course includes three core modules (deep diving; navigation diving; night diving) and then a choice of two other modules (choosing between search and recovery diving; boat diving; underwater naturalist diving; digital underwater photography diving).
Therefore, on completion of the core modules, you will have the theoretical knowledge and practical skills you need to dive anywhere in the world to a maximum depth of 30-meters when diving with a buddy. In addition, you will have learned to navigate under the water (always helpful when finding the boat) and the core skills and techniques required for night diving and diving with limited visibility.
You will also have learned other skills, depending on what specialty modules you selected with your PADI Instructor. At completion, you are not certified for solo diving you will still always need to dive in buddy pairs for safety.
All dive training is completed at sea, on the Great Barrier Reef and all manuals, equipment and instruction are included in the course price.
